I try to introduce several obstacles to the puppy play area each day now.
It builds confidence and adds a little variety to their life!
Also note their “play growling”. This is their way of asserting themselves within the pack. It never escalates but is awfully cute!

Buffy’s face looks just like Casper except she has some sable on her right leg.

Glenda…what a sweet face!
Glenda. Puppy Culture protocol. This is a VERY soft hold, I promise!
Agatha’s pretty markings.
In the first video, Glenda, Buffy and Agatha are beginning to play with each other. It won’t be long now before they are jostling and play-growling.
In the second video we have Casper and Morticia, and of course Luna!
We started our Puppy Culture Protocol a few days ago. Here the puppies are getting accustomed to being on their backs. It stimulates the nerves they do now normally use at this stage. They also spend a few seconds vertically both with heads up and heads down. Again, for the same reason. It also flushes their little brains with blood….and then drains it.
None of these movements are intended to replace the normal petting, stroking and hugging they get each day. These are also very important for reducing blood pressure and stress in the puppies.
Luna (GCH CH Carneys Luminescent Moonflower) and Tiger (A Tiger’s in Carneys Garden, Oh My!) are expecting puppies October 17! I am very excited about these two and what they can produce.
Luna’s Pedigree
Tiger’s Pedigree
This is Tiger. He is a sable parti, has a “love the world” disposition and will sit on your lap all day long if allowed!
Tiger’s coat is now a beautiful shade of grey.
Tiger after a big win!
Luna after a nice win!
